  <description><![CDATA[<strong>THIS TIME, HE'LL NEVER LET HER GO</strong><br/><br/>Special agent Shane Dominic was in love with Laura Vasquez until the day she left him and married another man.  Thirteen years have passed now, but Laura's never disappeared from his fantasies, or destroyed his desire to learn the truth about what went wrong.  When her husband - a man tied to an international ring of thieves - is murdered, Shane knows this is his chance to learn Laura's secrets.  And he's not above using their scorching-hot passion for one another - and a little domination - to do it.<br/><br/>One look at Shane, and Laura's own memories come back to haunt her.  Her feelings run deep, but she can never divulge her secrets - a desperate vow that's compromised when Shane holds her hostage in a secluded cabin.  There, she will finally belong to him, be subjected to his every torturously erotic whim, and be forced to trust him with the shocking truth she's hidden for so long - a revelation that will expose them both to danger.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[<strong>THIS TIME, HE'LL NEVER LET HER GO</strong><br/><br/>Special agent Shane Dominic was in love with Laura Vasquez until the day she left him and married another man.  Thirteen years have passed now, but Laura's never disappeared from his fantasies, or destroyed his desire to learn the truth about what went wrong.  When her husband - a man tied to an international ring of thieves - is murdered, Shane knows this is his chance to learn Laura's secrets.  And he's not above using their scorching-hot passion for one another - and a little domination - to do it.<br/><br/>One look at Shane, and Laura's own memories come back to haunt her.  Her feelings run deep, but she can never divulge her secrets - a desperate vow that's compromised when Shane holds her hostage in a secluded cabin.  There, she will finally belong to him, be subjected to his every torturously erotic whim, and be forced to trust him with the shocking truth she's hidden for so long - a revelation that will expose them both to danger.]]>

Her characters are usually fully developed and her plots are kind of intense and intricate, and make you think.  The romance/sex is often very earthy, primal, and raw.

    <![CDATA[<strong>THIS TIME, HE'LL NEVER LET HER GO</strong><br/><br/>Special agent Shane Dominic was in love with Laura Vasquez until the day she left him and married another man.  Thirteen years have passed now, but Laura's never disappeared from his fantasies, or destroyed his desire to learn the truth about what went wrong.  When her husband - a man tied to an international ring of thieves - is murdered, Shane knows this is his chance to learn Laura's secrets.  And he's not above using their scorching-hot passion for one another - and a little domination - to do it.<br/><br/>One look at Shane, and Laura's own memories come back to haunt her.  Her feelings run deep, but she can never divulge her secrets - a desperate vow that's compromised when Shane holds her hostage in a secluded cabin.  There, she will finally belong to him, be subjected to his every torturously erotic whim, and be forced to trust him with the shocking truth she's hidden for so long - a revelation that will expose them both to danger.]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>THIS TIME, HE'LL NEVER LET HER GO</strong><br/><br/>Special agent Shane Dominic was in love with Laura Vasquez until the day she left him and married another man.  Thirteen years have passed now, but Laura's never disappeared from his fantasies, or destroyed his desire to learn the truth about what went wrong.  When her husband - a man tied to an international ring of thieves - is murdered, Shane knows this is his chance to learn Laura's secrets.  And he's not above using their scorching-hot passion for one another - and a little domination - to do it.<br/><br/>One look at Shane, and Laura's own memories come back to haunt her.  Her feelings run deep, but she can never divulge her secrets - a desperate vow that's compromised when Shane holds her hostage in a secluded cabin.  There, she will finally belong to him, be subjected to his every torturously erotic whim, and be forced to trust him with the shocking truth she's hidden for so long - a revelation that will expose them both to danger.]]>
